It's another Bank Holiday special today featuring action from the continuing saga of the Supreme Championships, today's round being the Lightning Rods' second, as well as more from the National Bangers and the Ministox.

You never quite know who will show up for any meeting (unless it's one of those rare invitation only events, of course!) and our last Lightning Rod meeting proved that much, a double win for Richard Warner building up to a race to the wire in the final which went to Chris Reeve. The number of cars dropped off through the day, however, especially as a result of one particular bit of contact that dropped Andy Reeve out of the meeting in a wreck that also collected Ashley Birkin, though Ashley did manage to pull the damage out, as did the other person involved, one Peter Waite. Yes, there's still some good stuff to be found in this formula and, as proven in that one incident, you take your eyes off the cars at your peril!

The Ministox have been giving some pretty great performances too over the last few meetings and though you will get the usual suspects on the pace car at the end, they don't have it all their own way. The usual suspects, of course, would be Harry Steward, Ryan Polley and Dan Newman, these three usually up there somewhere along with Lauren Overy, but there is talent aplenty elsewhere on the grid. Alfie Jones, for example, has been pulling down some good finishes lately. Like the Lightning Rods, you also can't rule out the odd visiting driver who will stir things up a little and it isn't unheard of for new drivers to pop up in the middle of the season!

I won't go too in depth about our last Banger meeting – see Matt's bit for that later in the programme. Actually, the last Banger meeting here, a scant eight days ago, was quite a blast. We estimated that the field that day was the biggest we have had so far this season, and had pretty much everything you might want in a meeting, from the warring team factions to wrecking and racing, from the very start of the meeting right down to the last gasp on the bridge bend as the last running cars pummelled each other into submission! We even got to see Dave Barwick legitimately do a lap of honour and it has been quite a while now since I've seen him do that here! Ah, the memories come flooding back... But enough of that!

Anyway, our next meeting is but six days from now on Sunday, June 2 starting at 1.30pm when the Rookie Bangers return for the Bob Kitchener Memorial. Hang on, shurely shome mishtake! Ah, gentle reader, there is method in the madness! We also have SuperBangers and Stock Rods in the mix for our next (and Matt has the latest on them too). See you then!
